The facts are...libertarianism makes the same mistake that those statist forms of government make. They replace God’s law with human reasoning and consequently we can expect the same results should they ever achieve power.

The key difference between statism and libertarianism concerns enforcement regardless of whatever morality is at stake.

I don’t recall Christ requiring the force of law, but that’s what Islam requires; Sharia law.

The moral divide in this Country is established by Leftism and Conservatism. How it’s administered is determined by the amount of required statism (the application of law). A pure libertarian society would effectively be one of anarchy. Hitler demonstrated the consequences of a pure form of statism. Somewhere between the two extents, “normal” societies function.

Not sure why the definitions and graph in #16 and #19 are in question.

A note for the impaired:

I’m a Pro-Life Conservative Libertarian. I believe in the limited use of law to govern the citizens. I’m for capital punishment, a strong foreign policy, and contrary to the sorely reckless assertions made in this thread, I’m for the maximum sentencing possible for crimes against minors. I think parents should have the right to personally execute the perp where sentenced under the governing law.

The Libertarian Party is generally a party of jackasses that embraces Leftism under the guise of libertarianism. They support egregious behavior in principle which includes the killing of nascent life. The party tacitly supports using law to force citizens into supporting homosexual behavior. That’s a party of Leftism.

I’m a registered Republican, and vote the Pro-Life, Conservative ticket. I would never join the kind of party represented by the Libertarian Party nor Democrat Party.

I was one of the few here whom immediately stood up for Todd Akin. I’m an open and frequent supporter of Palin and West. I’m a supporter of the Thomas More Law Center, and other conservative groups including Free Republic.

Unfortunately, many conservatives are comfortable with creeping statism, but they just don’t want to pay for it which gives the false sense they’re for Liberty. If Christianity had its version of Sharia, good chance many so-called conservatives would go for it. I don’t think this violation of the 1st Amendment is what the Founding Fathers had in mind.
